You can find and buy Intel AC series wifi cards meant for laptops on PCIe surfboards with external antennas. They're plug and play and fantasfic


Does BT 5 support work ? High quality wireless headphone connection for calls is pretty important for me, this is the reason I'm getting the wireless card for workstation (I use laptop for calls right now)


Sounds like maybe PTP?


Let's not endorse launchpad bug reporting too strongly, I have bugs going on 5 years and 3 major releases.


Have you paid someone / some support to fix them?

It's reasonable to have unfixed bugs for years if they are not really blocking many people (and even if they did, but that would be too bad). Maintainers are focusing on other things that need to be done (or not, anyway nobody is supposed to fix bugs for free if they don't want to).

In this case, launchpad works as intended, as a place were you can track the (non) progression of your bugs.

Me too, probably, by the way (in other projects). My bugs reports are more like FYIs to the community.



Two Hundred Years Together by Alexander Solzhenitsyn


Is it banned, or simply not available in typical public libraries because it's in Russian and there is not an English translation? My public library has dozens of books by Solzhenitsyn.


Interesting suggestion!

It seems there is not a complete english translation available from a single translator, or one affiliated with any university/previous scholarship at least. I couldnt find any in a quick search of a few major city library catalogues and major universities in NA. I did find a few journal articles about the book though, and it was very easy to find other Solzhenitsyn books in grade school and other libraries.

The pdf translation below has a typo in the very first line of the introduction and the first chapter was translated by someone(s) on 8chan {1}. So I'm not terribly surprised that typical public libraries don't have a copy.

(side note I love LibGen too, but I think it's good that a physical, public library is making a point of making their e-catalogue available to teens)


It's banned from being sold on all major bookstores / platforms


Two hundred smackers on Amazon.


That's the Russian one


Six hundred and eighty copies on worldcat, including one within 7 miles of me.


Still waiting to hear Jordan Peterson’s review of that one.


We all are. That little performance bummed me out quite a bit the first time I saw it. I still think his general life advice is good though.


If you’ve read Nietzsche or other philology/mythology he just comes off as a gas station ‘10 tips to EXCEL in your life’ and it’s cringe to see people take him seriously at face value.

Not doubting he is a smart man: he started a self auditing thing on his website, and probably has the psychological profile of his audience written up in bullet points for his marketers.
